US EditionDHS Secretary Noem: Trump wants border wall painted black so it is too hot to climb
- On August 19, Kristi Noem, head of Homeland Security, revealed plans to paint the entire southern border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border black during an event in Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
- The decision to paint the wall black follows a request from President Donald Trump to make it hotter and harder to climb as part of the administration's immigration deterrence efforts.
- Noem stated the black paint will increase the metal’s temperature, deter rust, extend the wall’s lifespan, and complement ongoing construction advancing at about half a mile daily.
- Congress approved approximately $46 billion this summer for Homeland Security to complete the wall, and Noem said migrant apprehensions dropped from over 104,000 to fewer than 8,000 in July.
- These measures aim to reinforce border security and support what Noem describes as the most secure border in U.S. history, while Border Patrol morale reportedly remains high as agents carry out national security duties.
